Alya dreamed of being the master of her own destiny. It’s up to you to decide what kind of life you want to live, and not to do what is “right” and “necessary”, to drop everything and leave at any moment... But dreams crumble when Alya accepts the title of crown princess and with it the crown of the empire. Flattering speeches of the courtiers, intrigues of the Council, secrets of the imperial family, games of the gods... What to do if the sword is no longer the solution to all problems? To escape, Alya will have to subdue her awakened gift, challenge the gods and find a way to prevent the coming war with vampires. But will Alya choose to save Creit if it costs her life?
